Some Types And Covers For Quaternionic Hermitian Groups
(2014-08-15)
In this dissertation we determine the reducibility of certain induced representations. We do this using Bushnell and Kutzko's method of types and covers. We consider certain quaternionic hermitian groups over a $p$-adic ...
SELF-DUAL REPRESENTATIONS WITH VECTORS FIXED UNDER AN IWAHORI SUBGROUP
(2012)
Let $G$ be the group of $F$-points of a split connected reductive $F$-group over a non-Archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic 0. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible smooth self-dual representation of $G$. The space $W$ of ...
MODEL SELECTION USING AN INFORMATION THEORY APPROACH
(2010)
In this thesis we use the information theoretic approach in selecting the best
Stability of Solitary Waves for Some Schrodinger-KdV Systems
(2013)
This dissertation addresses existence and stability results for a two-parameter family of solitary-wave solutions to systems in which an equation of nonlinear Schrodinger type is coupled to an equation of Korteweg-de Vries ...
Comparison Theorems, Geomatric Inequalities, And Applications to p-harmonic Geometry
(2012)
In this dissertation, we consider three aspects: comparison theorems on complete manifold which posses a pole, geometric inequalities on complete manifolds, and the applications of inequalities to p-harmonic geometry. More ...
Snowflake Groups with Super-Exponential 2-dimensional Dehn Functions
(2011)
The objective of this paper is to combine the results of two papers to get a new result. The first paper is called \textit{Super-Exponential 2-Dimensional Dehn Functions} by Josh Barnard, Noel Brady and Pallavi Dani. In ...
NORMAL TORI IN #_n(S2xS1) AND THE DEHN TWIST AUTOMORPHISMS OF THE FREE GROUP
(2013)
The 3-dimensional space which renders a Out(F_n) action is M = #_n(S2x S1). The relation between M and Out(F_n) is that the latter is isomorphic to the mapping class group of M up to rotations about 2-spheres in M.
COMPLEX P-LAPLACIAN ON KAHLER MANIFOLDS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
(2014-12)
From a geometric point of view, we use coordinates as the main tool to define the holomorphic gradient, the antiholomorphic gradient, and the complex gradient of a complex-valued function on Kahler manifolds. Then we define ...
Calculus Instructors' Resources, Orientations, and Goals in Teaching Low-Achieving Students
(2014-05-09)
Teaching and learning calculus has been the subject of mathematics education research for many years. Although the literature is mainly concerned with students’ difficulties with calculus, research on mathematicians’ day ...
ROOTS OF DEHN TWISTS
(2011)
Let C be a curve in a closed orientable surface F of genus g &ge 2 that separates F of genera gi, for i = 1,2. We study the set of roots in Mod(F) of the Dehn twist tC about C. All roots arise from pairs of Cni actions on ...
